Words of Jesus

It is written in the prophets, `And they shall all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me.

John 6:44

When we find ourselves being carried away by anger or tempted by some other passion, let us reflect on what privileges we have been granted, what Spirit it is whose presence we enjoy, and this thought will check in us those unruly passions.

— St John Chrysostom

Abba, Father, Lord God, in amazement, filled with hope built on faith in Jesus and love for You, I give thanks and praise. That You would continue to bless me. While I still stumble and in the words of St. John today, if I do not stop and reflect on these blessings, I may fall; I will rise in Jesus for I feel the seed You have planted in my heart and I know this that the more one feels the stronger ones faith, and the greater ones hope, and freer one loves. Blessed am I that the Words of Jesus today are alive and growing within me. Always conscious of my nature, I turned to You through Jesus in the Spirit taking His yoke and seeking only His ways towards Your will. Trying always to fulfill that will, but never again forgetting that I am Your steward under the sun. So with this mind set and focus I start this day and again on my knees lift up in prayer the names of those in need of Your healing, comfort, understanding, rest and peace. In the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen.
